FIVE Stepping Stones.

Probably boy never hears of a
successful man but the thought that
flashes through his mind is, "Why
did he succeed E? How did he begin ?
Ex-MayOr Edison, of New York
says:
1.-THE rules that l have followed all
my life, and which 1 regard as nee
essary to success in business are:
81. Close attention to details. And
this means sometimes working
nights and during hours usually de-
voted to recreation.
so. Keeping out Of debt. Regu-
Iating expenses so as to keep within
your iucome, and at all times to
know just where you are financially,
SO. The strictest integrity. 1t is
rare that dishonest man succeeds.
He does sometimes, but not often.
"a. Being temperate in habits.
rs Never getting into a lawsuit,
Business ought to be conducted in
such a way that there will be no
need of lawsuits, and ii is better often
to suffer wrong than togo into court
about it,"

Is the Drummer Doomed ?

1t is a significant circumstance that
while many of the Southern States
are agitated by the decision render
ing drummer's licenses unnecessary
the drummer himself is in fair way
to be reformed out of existence alto
gether.
The drummer is the modern and
UNIQUE successor of the old-time
commercial traveller" which he is
even now occasionally called. In the
good old days mercantile travellers
had a sort of unwritten code of honor,
and they would get over their ground
systematically, slowly, methodically,
with punctilious regard for the in.
terests of their own firm and spirit
of fair play to the representatives of
rival firms.
Tthis is changed now. The drum
mer of to-day is slick young man,
who can tell lie without even a
twinkle of the eye, and who will
under-sel or under-cut any rival, so
he can secure new trade or preserve
the old. In many cases it has thus
happened that between close margins
and bad debts the firms employing
drummers have found themselves
shorn of all profits, after the drum
mer's expenses of So to Sl2 day
have been paid.
The facilities offered under the
modern system of money orders, fire.
auent mail deliveries and cheap adj
vertising rates in papers of large cir
culation have rendered 1t unnecessary
for many firms to employ any agents
at all. The drummer is often
merry wag, an irresistibly droll
story-teller and professional tlirt
among the ladies, but even these
qualities are not indispensable to the
success of commercial firms, and it
begins to look as if the drummer will
have to go.

An Economist.

THAT hoard of old Paine's," said
an ancient Andoverian, poking his
wood fire ardentIy, while the sleet
beat a tattoo on his window panes,
reminds me of story Of one OF our
champion economist, who lived on
Hot Greed Hill, near the theological
seminary. He was a mighty profess
sor in his day, and 50 close an ex-
ample of thrift that if the old adage
about a penny saved being pound
earned had been true he would have
made Andover Seminary the richest
foundation in the Union.
zone day he stopped in at one OF
our town stores to buy a hat. The
shopman showed him two-one for
So and one for IS. While the old
gentleman stood hesitating, as if he
could be happy with either were
it the other away, the salesman said
blandly: If you will permit me,
professor, | should be pleased to
make you present Of this hat, ,
holding out the most expensive one.
The professor took it, tried it on
again, shaped it tenderly to his white
head, and replied sweetly: "Oh,
thank you, I am very much obliged
to you, hut what did you say the
price was 2"
Give dollars" answered the shop
man, bowling. "but nothing to you,
sir"
"Well, I really-I thank you very
much, but if it is all the same to you
L think l will take the 50 hat and you
can give me the difference in change
two dollars 1 think you said"
"That was a little keen" said the
ancient Andoyerian, making the
sparks jump as he stirred up the
hickory sticks in the old fireplace,
but the next takes the cake 50 far as
heard from.
"The same old gentleman had a
son whom he brought up in the way
he should go, but who, in due course
went away to seek his fortune like
other young men. He had been alb
sent from the old homestead foI
years, but at length news came that
he was soon coming back to visit his
parents. On the day set for his arrival
the old professor seemed very uneasy
and kept rambling about the house
from cellar toiattic, touching cherish
ed memories of his boy with tremb-
ling hands, and thinking only Of the
hour when he should be permitted
to hold his dear son in his arms once
more.
"At last his eXpectant ear caught
the rattle of the wheels which were
bringing his boy back to him, and
all aglow with parental loYe he lean
ed out of his chamber window and
called to his wife: "Susan, Susan,
our son is here; put another potato
in the oven right OFF," In this way
was the fatted calf killed that day
inAndover."

Remarkable MemOrizing.

all events, he has built up fortune
by teaching it, and has been endors-

A Temple Of SerpentS,

The small town of Werda. in the
kingdom of Dahomey, is celebrated
for its Temple of Serpents, long
building in which the priests keep
upward of 1000 serpents of all sexes.
which they feed with the frogs and
birds brought to them as offerings by
the natives. These serpents, many
of them of enormous size, may be
seen hanging from the beams across
the ceiling with their heads hanging
downward, and in all sorts of strange
cOntortions. The priests MAKE the
small serpents go through various
evolutions by lightly touching them
with rod, but they do not venture
to touch the larger ones, some OF
which are big enough to enfold bull
lock in their coils. 1t often happens
that some of these rerpents make
their way out Of the temple into the
t,wn, and the priests have the great
est difficulty in cOaXing them back.
To kill a serpent Intentionally is a
crime punished with death; and if a
European were to kill one the au-
thority of the King himself would
scarcely suffice to save his life. Any
one killing a serpent unintentionally
must inform the priest of what has
occurred, and 90 through the course

The "Old" Party.


Democrats are fond of referring to
their party as "the old party"-the
party of Madison, Jefferson and jack
son, and to argue that in proportion
as it is aged so is it respectable and
honorable. 1t is true that the party
name is an old one, and one or two
of the doctrines taught by the old
Jeffersonian school are still advocated
by the party of to-day; but it is safe
to say that the lamented Mr.. Jetfer-
son would be 10th to recognize the
notified organization that now bears
the name of the Democratic party to
which he belonged and gave honor.
Still the Democratic party is "the old
party' in the sense that it clings to
many old fossilized and exploded
theories and drags along in old
fashioned ruts which the newer and
more progressive Republican party
have long ago forsaken.
The party of Democracy has COM
parativeIy few intelligent young men
to help it along in its old age. Young
men who can help party are young
men who have graduated from col
Ieges or studied in schools. The
books that the young men have been
reading in schools do not teach De-
mocracy. They tell all about Lincoln
and Grant and Seward and Chase
and Sherman and Summer and Sher-
idan and Thad. Stevens and Morton
and Logan and Wade as men who
were true to the nation in the hour
of its need. They also tell about jeff
Davis and Valandingham and Floyd
and Lee and Jesse Bright and Jake
Thompson and many others who
were not true to the nation. They
teach that, while not every one who
was true to the country was an origl-
nal Republican, nearly every one
VINO was false to it was an original
Democrat. They teach that after the
war ended the Republican party
brought the nation from the jaws of
bankruptcy to a state of more than
solvency, enfranchised and citizen
lied the liberated slaves, established
the unity of the nation and wrought
numberless other reforms, all of
which was opposed by the Demo-
cratic party.
Hence it is but reasonable that the
young men who are being turned out
as graduates of our schools and col
leges, the young men, in other words,
who read and think and form ideas,
should fall into the Republican ranks
while the ignorant, the vicious and
the depraved naturally drift into the
Democratic line.
This accounts for the fact that it is
in States where the Republican party
is in the majority that all the great
reforms originate and are first ac-
complished. This accounts for the
fact that the great temperance reyo-
luton that is now sweeping over this
country had its origin in the Repub-
lican States and has gained all its i'm
portant victories there, and why it
has been opposed in Kansas and
other States where it has made head
way. by the Democratic party. Ed
ucation makes Republicans, and the
lack of it Democrats, and it is thor
ough education that the Democratic
party will finally be eliminated

sul here:-
GuayaquiI, April 14.-The radicals
at Ambalo have captured the city,
which was only defended by a weak
